Liu Jingyu's wording was very warm, and every word was filled with his thoughts for Madam Qi. He invited Madam Qi to come to his house, saying that he wanted to give a good reception to his grandmother, uncle, and aunt. He also said that she was now the mistress of the Eastern Palace, and everything else was fine except that it was inconvenient for her to go out.
When I miss my grandmother very much, I can't go out casually, so I want to ask Madam Qi to come to my house in person.
This was very well said. Madam Qi's eyes were filled with tears as she turned sideways to wipe away the tears from her eyes.
"Grandma, is this the letter from the Crown Princess asking us to come to her house?" Qi Xiu Nan was very happy. "That's great. I haven't seen the Crown Princess for a long time. I don't know how she is doing."
"You are an adult now, and your cousin is the Crown Princess. You must observe the differences between men and women." Lady Qi glared at her youngest son and said.
Ever since the incident with Madam Liu, Lady Duke Qi no longer treated Madam Liu and her daughter with the same gentleness as before. She originally thought that although her sister-in-law had ulterior motives, she was a good person and at least sincere to her. She didn't expect that she almost lost her life. The scene directed and acted by her sister-in-law was so vicious and outrageous.
As for her, she doesn't want her son to get too close to Liu Jingyu.
Qi Xiu Nan was scolded for no reason, and he couldn't explain himself clearly. He was so anxious that his face turned red and he stamped his feet vigorously: "Mother, how can you say that? My cousin grew up under my grandmother's lap. She is my sister. How can anyone else compare to her?"
"Even if it's the case, it won't work. Especially now that she is the Crown Princess. Just for this reason, you have to be careful in your behavior. Otherwise, you won't know how you died in the end." The wife of the Duke of Qi said hatefully, looking at her stupid son. This son had always said that the previous events were misunderstandings and always believed that they were impossible.
I still believe that Mrs. Liu, my sister-in-law, is a good person.
The wife of the Duke of Qi became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She kept scolding her son.
"Okay, stop scolding. This child is genuinely on good terms with the Crown Princess. How can others compare to siblings who grew up together?" Madam Qi finally spoke up to stop them.
"Even if you have grown up together, the situation is different now. Mother, don't you know that the Prince's Mansion has been in trouble again recently?" The Lady of the Duke of Qi found a reason to talk and stopped scolding her son, bringing out the words.
Madam Qi is no longer in charge of anything now, and rarely does anything from outside get in. She just burns incense and worships Buddha.
"What happened to the Crown Princess again?" Madam Qi asked, frowning. When she mentioned the Crown Prince's Mansion, she thought she was talking about Liu Jingyu.
"A maid died. She was holding a colorful pearl earring in her hand before she died. It is said that she was a maid in the East Palace. She died then." Lady Qiguogong said in a concise and shocking manner.
"Is it related to Jingyu?" Madam Qi was startled and asked hurriedly.
"I don't know, but it's related to the Eastern Palace, but it's also said to be related to Prince Jing's Mansion. Now the Ministry of Justice is investigating, and it's said that the victim's sister-in-law is making trouble in the government office!" said the wife of the Duke of Qi.
Qi Xiunan was about to open his mouth to explain a few words to Liu Jingyu, but he saw his mother glaring at him fiercely. He could only wipe his nose and lower his head.
Whatever you say at this time is probably wrong.
"What the hell is this?" Madam Qi was annoyed. The maid had just entered the mansion and died like this, and it caused such a big fuss. It seemed to be related to the backyard.
The one who calls the shots in the Eastern Palace now is his granddaughter.
Sticker in hand
She shook her head and thought of what the old Duke had just said. Madam Qi felt bored and depressed, and the pity she had for Liu Jingyu was suppressed all at once.
He handed the note in his hand to the wife of Duke Qi, "Just say that I am not feeling well and will not go to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Thank you for your kindness, Crown Princess."
After saying that, she turned around and left. She had to obey the old Duke's wishes. At this time, she couldn't use the Duke of Qi's Mansion to save face for the Crown Princess.
We have to wait until the truth comes to light.
“Grandma…” Qi Xiu Nan became anxious and said loudly when he heard what the lady said.
The wife of the Duke of Qi grabbed her son's sleeve and whispered, "Shut up!"
"Mother, the Crown Princess has been in the mansion since she was a child, and you have watched her grow up. Don't you know what kind of person she is? This matter may not be related to the Crown Princess. Isn't there a powerful concubine in the East Palace? She is the Crown Princess's person first, so she must have done such a vicious thing."
Qi Xiu Nan argued unconvinced.
"Who knows if she did it? You can't judge a person by his appearance. Who knows if the person you always thought was good will give you a deadly poison? For so many years, I always thought your aunt was a gentle and kind person, but in the end? I almost lost my life."
The wife of the Duke of Qi used this point to teach her son a lesson.
"Mother, that time could have been a misunderstanding." Qi Xiu Nan stomped his feet hard and explained.
"If you say it's a misunderstanding, then it's a misunderstanding." Lady Qiguogong glared at her son angrily, hating him for being so stupid. "Look at the attitudes of your grandfather and grandmother. It's not just a misunderstanding, right? Your grandfather loves your aunt so much. He saw that someone had a good marriage, but he helped your aunt snatch the marriage away. That's really not right."
The wife of the Duke of Qi lowered her voice while teaching her son.
"That's because my grandfather didn't know." Qi Xiu Nan was still unconvinced. He only found out about this recently. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen when he asked for the emperor's order to grant the marriage. He felt ashamed to talk about it.
But she is my aunt after all, and I still stand on her side and think it is impossible.
"Even if they don't know, it's always right that your grandfather and grandmother love your aunt, right?" Lady Qiguogong curled her lips.
"I love my aunt, so my aunt is really good, and my cousin is even more right." Qi Xiu Nan said.
"What about now? Do you think your grandparents care about your aunt? If she hadn't made a big mistake, your grandfather wouldn't have treated her like this, right? Your grandfather is such a real person, but now he hates her so much. Can you still say that she really did nothing wrong? Did she really not harm me?"
The wife of the Duke of Qi pointed in the direction of the old Duke's study.
Qi Xiu Nan was speechless after hearing this. He had always thought that he wanted to be like his grandfather and become a great general and a great hero. Even if he couldn't conquer the world, he would at least put an end to the war on the border.
In his eyes, his grandfather is the best, the most excellent, and no one else, not even his aunt or cousin, can compare to him.
"Mother, I won't talk to you anymore. I have something to do with my eldest brother." Qi Xiu Nan couldn't say any more and could only find an excuse to leave. He didn't want to hear his mother say bad things about his cousin and aunt.
"You can go to your elder brother, but don't go to the Crown Princess. There is a difference between men and women, especially at this time. No one else has come. What's the point of your cousin coming here? How will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see you
Your cousin? "Mrs. Qi knew what her son cared about, so she specifically talked about it.
Qi Xiu'nan did intend to go to the Prince's Mansion before, but after hearing his mother's brief words, he immediately gave up the idea.
He shook his hands and said, "Mother, that's enough, I understand. I'm not going to the Prince's Mansion. I'm really going to look for my elder brother. Please stop nagging me!"
My head hurts if I read any more.
Qi Xiu Nan turned around helplessly and walked towards the outer courtyard. This Princess of England was indeed not a good person. Look at the chaos she caused in the house today. Not only did her grandmother lose her normal state, but also her grandfather and mother were abnormal. It would have been fine if her cousin's post had come earlier, but now she has ruined everything.
He didn't like the British princess, not at all.
This person is clearly a troublemaker.
Nothing happened when he wasn't here, but now he's here and everyone is unhappy.
Qi Xiunan kicked a stone in front of him with hatred and watched it fall into the lake. If he had the chance, he would not let the British princess have an easy time...
Qu Moying didn't feel sad at this moment.
Her current identity is the Princess of England, and she has just married. In fact, she should go out less at this time, but Pei Yuantan told her that the backyard of the Prince of England's Mansion is hers. She can go out when she wants to and come back when she wants to. There is no need to be too restrained.
When she went out, she told Pei Yuanjun that she would not be back at noon, and asked someone to prepare lunch for Pei Yuanjun. She would go to the Duke of Qi's Mansion by herself, and would also visit Yueyi Pavilion later.
Going to the Duke of Qi's Mansion was an agreement with Liu Jingyu, and going to Yueyi Pavilion was to find out the news from the outside world.
Sometimes it is inconvenient to inquire in the British palace, and it is easy to be discovered and it is too deliberate.
It’s different when you go out.
And there is one more thing, which is to wait for Liu Jingyu's reaction. Such a big thing has happened, how could Liu Jingyu just sit and wait? He must come to me and ask clearly.
I have already sent the old woman from the East Palace back. How could Liu Jingyu be willing to accept my excuses? She must come to me for verification.
I am in the Prince of England's palace, so it would be inconvenient for Liu Jingyu to look for me. I go out just to make things convenient for her.
It is convenient for others and also for yourself...
In a private room upstairs in Yueyi Pavilion, Qu Moying sat in front of the window, quietly listening to the conversation in the next room. It seemed that the two ladies were talking about the big incident that had happened recently.
"I heard it was a maid from the East Palace. The maid's sister-in-law was crying so hard that she couldn't get up. It was so pitiful. How could such a thing happen?" A lady sighed.
"This must be related to the master of the East Palace, otherwise how could there be such precious colored pearl earrings!" Another lady said affirmatively, "The Crown Princess just married into the East Palace, how could such a thing happen? Even if this maid is immature and has done something to let her down, we can only bear with it for now."
When it comes to this kind of thing, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is that the maid climbed onto the prince's bed, so the mistress of the house couldn't stand it and simply beat the maid to death with a stick.
"I heard... that they didn't enter the bridal chamber that day. Could it be because of this maid?" It was obvious that the previous wife was well-informed. This kind of thing was not something that ordinary people could know.
These words would embarrass the Crown Princess.
